Cool...
I don't think i can update my forum because a lot of custom things might stop working.
So I am just gonna leave it on the version it's on...
Unless there's away to update while keeping the old copy just in case, so i can test the new version
Ah well i better not touch it.
I don't think gimpchat.com has been updated since whatever version it's on.

Which is one of the reasons I avoid all the plugins and local mods. Otherwise to update the forum:

take a copy of the current /var/www tree

unzip a copy of the old "standard" version of the forum in another directory

unzip a copy of the new "standard" version of the forum in another directory

use a file compare/merge utility to spot your changes from the standard and the updates from old to new

merge your changes to the new version

copy merged version to /var/www. If something bad happens, you still have the copy made in step 1.

Kdiff3 in Linux can compare 3 directory trees, coincidence?

But... not updating your software is leaving it open to people who can take advantage of recently discovered vulnerabilities. But I suppose this is more important for G-F.n (on its own server, so we have to take care of the full stack) than on yours (if you are on a shared server).
